DETAILED DESCRIPTION

The present invention provides novel methods to form a light wave-guide optical element. The novel methods make the procedures to form a light wave-guide optical element simpler and easier. The methods to form a light wave-guide optical element may start in the presence of a flat organic optical layer or in the presence of a pre-patterned organic optical material.

In a first aspect, the method to form a light wave-guide optical element may be carried out in the presence of a flat organic optical layer. FIG. 1 to FIG. 15 illustrates the method to form a light wave-guide optical element of the present invention to start from a flat organic optical layer. Please refer to FIG. 1, an optically transparent and flat substrate 100 is provided so a flat organic optical layer 110 may be formed on the optically transparent and flat substrate 100. The optically transparent and flat substrate 100, also known as a bottom optically transparent carrier, may be an organic material, such as an acrylic resin, or an inorganic material, such as glass. The thickness of the optically transparent and flat substrate 100 may be. If the optically transparent and flat substrate 100 is removed in a later step, the thickness of the optically transparent and flat substrate 100 is optional.

Alternatively, if the optically transparent and flat substrate 100 remains in the light wave-guide optical element, the thickness of the optically transparent and flat substrate 100 is preferably as small as possible. An organic optical liquid may be applied onto the optically transparent and flat substrate 100, such as by spin-coating or by imprinting, to form the flat organic optical layer 110. The flat organic optical layer 110 may be an optically transparent liquid, such as an acrylic material with a UV sensitive material or an epoxy material with a UV sensitive material to facilitate a later curing step.

Second, please refer to FIG. 2, a template 120 is used to transfer a pattern 121 onto the surface of the flat organic optical layer 110. Please notice that the pattern 121 on the template 120 is complementary to the patterns to be defined on the surface of the flat organic optical layer 110. After the transfer, a patterned organic optical layer 111 is obtained.

Later, please refer to FIG. 3, the patterned organic optical layer 111 is cured in the presence of the template 120 to obtain an organic optical material 112 with a pattern 113. The patterned organic optical layer 111 may be cured by UV light at an energy density from 0.5 J/cm²˜3 J/cm². After the curing step, the pattern 113 is permanently fixed on the organic optical material 112.

After the above curing step, please refer to FIG. 4, the template 120 is removed to obtain the organic optical material 112 disposed on the optically transparent substrate 100, also called a bottom optically transparent carrier. The organic optical material 112 has a pattern 113 defined by the template 120. In particular, the pattern 113 has a periphery plane 115 and multiple bulging tips 114 surrounded by the periphery plane 115. The periphery plane 115 and multiple bulging tips 114 together define the working region in a head-mounted display (HMD) or in a head-up display (HUD). Multiple bulging tips 114 define a viewing region of the working region to a user and the periphery plane 115 defines a periphery region of the working region.

Each bulging tip 114 has a geometric structure, for example triangle, rectangle, trapezoid or parallelogram as shown in FIG. 5. Moreover, each bulging tip 114 has a height H and a width W. The aspect ratio of the bulging tip 114 (H/W) may be 1:1 to 1:3.5.

After the template 120 is removed from the organic optical material 112, an anti-reflection stack 130 is formed to conformally cover the pattern 113, namely the multiple bulging tips 114 and the periphery plane 115 of the organic optical material 112, as shown in FIG. 6. The triangle bulging tips 114 are illustrated in FIG. 6 as an example only. The anti-reflection stack 130 includes at least one layer of zirconium oxide or silicon oxide. Preferably, the anti-reflection stack 130 includes at least one layer of zirconium oxide and silicon oxide. More preferably, the anti-reflection stack 130 includes layers of zirconium oxide and silicon oxide in an alternate way, as shown in FIG. 7. The anti-reflection stack 130 may be formed by spray or by coating. The anti-reflection stack 130 helps.

Afterwards, please refer to FIG. 8, an organic optical glue 140 is dispensed on the anti-reflection stack 130 to form an organic optical cover layer to cover the anti-reflection stack 130. The organic optical glue 140 may be an optically transparent glue, such as an acrylic material with a UV sensitive material or an epoxy material with a UV sensitive material to facilitate a later curing step. The organic optical glue 140 may be the same material as or a different material from the flat organic optical layer 110.

Subsequently, please refer to FIG. 9, another molding step is carried out to place a top glass sheet 150 to press the organic optical glue 140 in the presence of a mold 151 to obtain an organic optical cover layer 141 which was previously disposed on the pattern 113. In this step, the top glass sheet 150 is attached to the organic optical cover layer 141, and at the same time, the organic optical cover layer 141 fill the voids 118 among multiple bulging tips 114 and the periphery plane 115 so the organic optical cover layer 141 tightly fits the pattern 113. In particular, the mold 151 has a flat surface 152 so there is no pattern as a result transferred to the surface of the organic optical cover layer 141.

The thickness of the top glass sheet 150 is not critical. If the top glass sheet 150 is removed in a later step, the thickness of the top glass sheet 150 is optional. Alternatively, if the top glass sheet 150 is not removed in a later step, the thickness of the top glass sheet 150 is as small as possible. In another embodiment of the present invention, please refer to FIG. 9A, the molding step may be carried out in the absence of a top glass sheet to press the organic optical glue 140 in the presence of a mold 151 to obtain an organic optical cover layer 141 which is disposed on the pattern 113.

Then, the organic optical cover layer 141 is cured in the presence of the top glass sheet 150 to obtain an organic optical cover 142, as shown in FIG. 10, or cured in the absence of the top glass sheet to obtain an organic optical cover 142, as shown in FIG. 10A. Because the organic optical cover layer 141 preferably has a UV sensitive material to facilitate the curing step, the organic optical cover layer 141 may be cured by UV light at an energy density from 0.5 J/cm²˜3 J/cm². The top glass sheet 150 is optically transparent to the UV light.

After the curing step, the mold 151 may be removed to obtain a light wave-guide optical element 101 with an optically transparent substrate 100, an organic optical material 112, an anti-reflection stack 130, an organic optical cover 142 and a top glass sheet 150. In another embodiment of the present invention, please refer to FIG. 12, the curing step may be carried out in the absence of a top glass sheet to obtain a light wave-guide optical element 103 with an optically transparent substrate 100, an organic optical material 112, an anti-reflection stack 130 and an organic optical cover 142.

In particular, after the curing step, one bulging tip 114 to the surface of the organic optical cover 142 defines a residue thickness T. The residue thickness T depends on the viscosity of the organic optical glue 140 and on the total area of the substrate and helps ensure that every bulging tip 114 stays within the organic optical cover 142. The residue thickness preferably ranges from 0.5 μm to 60 μm. For example, 1) T=0.5 μm when the viscosity is 10 cps and the area is 50×50 mm², 2) T=40 μm when the viscosity is 1800 cps and the area is 8″ wafer, or 3) T=60 μm when the viscosity is 5000 cps and the area is 8″ wafer are given here as references.

In one embodiment of the present invention, the optically transparent substrate 100 and/or the top glass sheet 150 may be optionally removed. For example, as shown in FIG. 11, the optically transparent substrate 100 may be optionally removed from the organic optical material 112 to obtain a light wave-guide optical element 102. Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 12, the top glass sheet 150 may be optionally removed to obtain a light wave-guide optical element 103. Or, as shown in FIG. 13, both the optically transparent substrate 100 and the top glass sheet 150 are removed to obtain a light wave-guide optical element 104 with an organic optical material 112, an anti-reflection stack 130 and an organic optical cover 142.

In another embodiment of the present invention, one light wave-guide optical element 101, 102, 103 or 104 may be stacked on another light wave-guide optical element 101, 102, 103 or 104 to obtain a light wave-guide optical stack. The light wave-guide optical stack 105 may consist of the same light wave-guide optical elements, as shown in FIG. 14 or have different light wave-guide optical elements, as shown in FIG. 15.

In a second aspect, the present invention provides another method to form a light wave-guide optical element in the absence of the previously mentioned optically transparent substrate 100 in the beginning. FIG. 16 to FIG. 21 illustrates another method to form a light wave-guide optical element of the present invention to start from a patterned organic optical substrate. First, as shown in FIG. 16, a patterned organic optical substrate 116 is provided. The patterned organic optical substrate 116 has a pre-formed pattern 113. The patterned organic optical substrate 116 may be similar to the previously mentioned organic optical material 112 in many aspects.

For example, the pattern 113 also has a periphery plane 115 and multiple bulging tips 114 surrounded by the periphery plane 115. The periphery plane 115 and multiple bulging tips 114 together define the working region in a head-mounted display (HMD) or in a head-up display (HUD). Multiple bulging tips 114 define a viewing region of the working region to a user and the periphery plane 115 defines a periphery region of the working region. Each bulging tip 114 has a geometric structure, for example triangle, rectangle, trapezoid or parallelogram as shown in FIG. 5. Moreover, each bulging tip 114 has a height H and a width W. The aspect ratio of the bulging tip 114 (H/W) may be 1:1 to 1:3.5.

Second, as shown in FIG. 17, an anti-reflection stack 130 is formed to conformally cover the pattern 113, namely the multiple bulging tips 114 and the periphery plane 115 of the organic optical material 112. The anti-reflection stack 130 includes at least one layer of zirconium oxide or silicon oxide. Preferably, the anti-reflection stack 130 includes at least one layer of zirconium oxide and silicon oxide. More preferably, the anti-reflection stack 130 includes layers of zirconium oxide and silicon oxide in an alternate way, as shown in FIG. 7. The anti-reflection stack 130 may be formed by spray or by coating.

Afterwards, please refer to FIG. 18, an organic optical glue 140 is dispensed on the anti-reflection stack 130 to form an organic optical cover layer to cover the anti-reflection stack 130. The organic optical glue 140 may be an optically transparent glue, such as an acrylic material with a UV sensitive material or an epoxy material with a UV sensitive material to facilitate a later curing step. The organic optical glue 140 may be the same material as or a different material from the patterned organic optical substrate 116.

Subsequently, please refer to FIG. 19, a molding step is carried out to place a top glass sheet 150 to press the organic optical glue 140 in the presence of a mold 151 to obtain an organic optical cover layer 141 disposed on the pattern 113. In this step, the top glass sheet 150 is attached to the organic optical cover layer 141, and at the same time, the organic optical cover layer 141 fills the voids 118 among multiple bulging tips 114 and the periphery plane 115 so the organic optical cover layer 141 tightly fits the pattern 113. In particular, the mold 151 has a flat surface so there is no pattern as a result transferred to the surface of the organic optical cover layer 141.

The thickness of the top glass sheet 150 is not critical. If the top glass sheet 150 is removed in a later step, the thickness of the top glass sheet 150 is optional. Alternatively, if the top glass sheet 150 is not removed in a later step, the thickness of the top glass sheet 150 is as small as possible.

Then, as shown in FIG. 20, the organic optical cover layer 141 is cured in the presence of the top glass sheet 150 to obtain an organic optical cover 142, or as shown in FIG. 21, the organic optical cover layer 141 is cured in the absence of the top glass sheet 150 to obtain an organic optical cover 142. Because the organic optical cover layer 141 preferably has a UV sensitive material to facilitate the curing step, the organic optical cover layer 141 may be cured by UV light at an energy density from 0.5 J/cm²˜3 J/cm². The top glass sheet 150 is optically transparent to the UV light.

After the curing step, the mold 151 may be removed to obtain a light wave-guide optical element 106 with a patterned organic optical substrate 116, an anti-reflection stack 130, an organic optical cover 142 and a top glass sheet 150.

In one embodiment of the present invention, the top glass sheet 150 may be further optionally removed. For example, as shown in FIG. 21, the top glass sheet 150 may be optionally removed from the organic optical cover 142 to obtain a light wave-guide optical element 107 with a patterned organic optical substrate 116, an anti-reflection stack 130 and an organic optical cover 142.

In particular, after the curing step, one bulging tip 114 to the surface of the organic optical cover 142 defines a residue thickness T. The residue thickness T depends on the viscosity of the organic optical glue 140 and on the total area of the substrate and helps ensure that every bulging tip 114 stays within the organic optical cover 142. The residue thickness preferably ranges from 0.5 μm to 60 μm. For example, 1) T=0.5 μm when the viscosity is 10 cps and the area is 50×50 mm², 2) T=40 μm when the viscosity is 1800 cps and the area is 8″ wafer, or 3) T=60 μm when the viscosity is 5000 cps and the area is 8″ wafer are given here as references.

In another embodiment of the present invention, one light wave-guide optical element 106 or 107 may be stacked on another light wave-guide optical element 106 or 107 to obtain a light wave-guide optical stack 105. The light wave-guide optical stack 105 with the light wave-guide optical elements 106 and/or 107 is similar to the light wave-guide optical stack 105. Please refer to the above descriptions regarding the light wave-guide optical stack 105 for details.

After the above steps, a light wave-guide optical element 101, 102, 103, 104, 106 or 107 is obtained. The light wave-guide optical element includes a bottom optically transparent carrier, also called an optional optically transparent substrate 100, an organic optical material 112, an anti-reflection stack 130, an organic optical cover 142 and an optional top glass sheet 150.

The organic optical material 112 includes a periphery plane 115 and multiple bulging tips 114. The multiple bulging tips 114 are surrounded by the periphery plane 115. The periphery plane 115 and multiple bulging tips 114 together define the working region in a head-mounted display (HMD) or in a head-up display (HUD). Multiple bulging tips 114 define a viewing region of the working region to a user and the periphery plane 115 defines a periphery region of the working region. Each bulging tip 114 has a geometric structure, for example triangle, rectangle, trapezoid or parallelogram as shown in FIG. 5. Moreover, each bulging tip 114 has a height H and a width W. The aspect ratio of the bulging tip 114 (H/W) may be 1:1 to 1:3.5.

The anti-reflection stack 130 conformally covers the bulging tips 114. The anti-reflection stack 130 includes at least one layer of zirconium oxide or silicon oxide. Preferably, the anti-reflection stack 130 includes at least one layer of zirconium oxide or silicon oxide. For example, the anti-reflection stack 130 may include 2, 21 or 101 layers of zirconium oxide and silicon oxide in total.

The organic optical cover 142 correspondingly covers the anti-reflection stack 130 and the bulging tips 114 so the anti-reflection stack 130 is sandwiched between the organic optical cover 142 and the bulging tips 114. The organic optical cover 142 may be the same material as or different material from the flat organic optical layer 110.

The bottom optically transparent carrier may be an organic material, such as an acrylic resin or an inorganic material, such as glass. The thickness of the bottom optically transparent carrier is not critical. If the bottom optically transparent carrier is present, the thickness of the bottom optically transparent carrier may be as small as possible. Similarly, if the top glass sheet 150 is present, the thickness of the top glass sheet 150 may be as small as possible.

One light wave-guide optical element 101, 102, 103, 104, 106 or 107 may be stacked on another light wave-guide optical element 101, 102, 103, 104, 106 or 107 to obtain a light wave-guide optical stack 105. The light wave-guide optical stack 105 may consist of the same light wave-guide optical elements, as shown in FIG. 14 or have different light wave-guide optical elements, as shown in FIG. 15. The light wave-guide optical element 103 is preferably placed at a bottom-most position due to the bottom optically transparent carrier 100. The light wave-guide optical element 102 and 106 are preferably placed at an up-most position due to top glass sheet 150. The light wave-guide optical element 104 and 107 are preferably placed in the middle of the light wave-guide optical stack 105 without the need of a protective layer to pursue a smaller total thickness of the light wave-guide optical stack 105. The light wave-guide optical element 101 is however versatile.

Those skilled in the art will readily observe that numerous modifications and alterations of the device and method may be made while retaining the teachings of the invention. Accordingly, the above disclosure should be construed as limited only by the metes and bounds of the appended claims.
